Chapter 9 The Apostles I
As the sky gradually brightened, Su silently watched as O'Sullivan's mutilated charred body was packed into a protective box made of fiberglass, carried onto a transport vehicle, and transported to Dragon City. The soldiers on the other side were busy, searching for the bodies of the dead on both sides in the mountains.
Scouts sent here for reconnaissance in depth reported that traces of armored units had been found on the edges of the hilly terrain. Perhaps because the reconnaissance troops that had gone out were completely wiped out, the armored forces of the Blue Scorpion retreated back to Pendulum City, leaving only a deep track mark on the outskirts of the mountainous area.
Su didn't care if he was happy or worried about the news. The blue scorpion will definitely come, but now it's just a temporary retreat.
He sat alone on the top of the hill, pondering every detail of last night's battle. Su's current way of concealment was formed when he survived alone for many years in the wilderness, making full use of the ability to manipulate his body, almost avoiding the perception of a known mutated creature. This method of concealment has been shown to be effective in battles with Raikkona, Oberen, and the Fabregas family's King Cobra forces. Even Su himself can't find anything that needs to be improved at the moment.
Well, this one is named O'Sullivan. And how did Morgan's man get Sue out of the darkness and chaos? Is there really an apostle who guides his elect in a prophetic way?
At this time, the tactical board shook again, and it was still Helen.
"Is there a result?" Su asked, but didn't have much hope in her heart. Calculating the time, now that O'Sullivan's body has just arrived in the real room, Helen shouldn't have come to the result so quickly, right?
"The body has just arrived and the examination has not yet begun. However, it seems that he burned very thoroughly, and it is estimated that the examination will also be able to produce some results. Helen's answer disappointed Sue slightly. Although there are many conflicts between him and Helen, with the deepening of communication and cooperation, Sue has a vague admiration for this beautiful woman full of mechanical feelings. For example, her cracking of the Blue Scorpion chip, such as her judgment of Diaste's lies, and for example, her heavy artillery that arrived in Evenford ahead of schedule. From these details, Helen has already shown the tip of the iceberg of her vast knowledge and terrifying intelligence.
Unable to get an answer, Sue still chose to ask Helen for help and asked her to see if she could find out the secret of O'Sullivan. With Su's own ability, he couldn't get anything out of this corpse that was about to burn inside and out. Su found some remnants of O'Sullivan's flesh and blood, but his body refused to absorb it, which means that Su's body with a terrifying instinct does not recognize the value of the genes in these flesh and blood, and of course, it may not match at all.
"However, based on your description of last night's battle, I have calculated a possible way to detect: terrain matching. This charred corpse may have been used to find you in this way. β
Sue's eyes immediately lit up. If there's one thing that keeps him appealing, it's one of them, powerful and new. Recently, Helen has always liked to use this way of speaking that will make Su Qing xΓΉ go up and down, and I don't know if it's a unique taste.
According to Helen's explanation, there are actually many ways to do terrain matching, such as radar waves, or some kind of high-frequency waves, or even direct visual vision. The principle is to compare and analyze the differences between two images to find out where the opponent may be hiding. If the system is sophisticated and complex enough, then three-dimensional space can also be compared. Sue can lower his body temperature and can change the color of his surroundings, but he can't make his body nothing. No matter how he moves, or where he hides, there will always be an extra volume of his body. Through comparison and analysis, you can find his traces. Unless Sue digs a hole to bury himself, or there happens to be a cave on the battlefield where he can hide, it is possible to evade the detection method of terrain matching.
This is only a theoretical explanation, and it is not yet known how O'Sullivan scanned his surroundings through guΓ², or whether he detected it by means of 2D or 3D imaging. However, it is not difficult to find the difference between two two-dimensional or three-dimensional images in an instant, and it may not be possible for ordinary human brains, but it does not mean that computers can't do it. According to Helen, a slightly more advanced chip can compare hundreds of images in an instant, which is not difficult at all, and the computing power of the third generation of Blue Scorpion chips can easily complete this task.
Helen meant that if Sue wanted to, he could also have this function immediately, and it would take three days to make such a chip, and the function would not be worse than that of the Blue Scorpion. The process of implanting the chip into the brain is not perfect, and the technical level of the Dark Dragoon cannot completely guarantee the perfect connection between the human brain and the chip. But this is for ordinary people, for Su's perverted body, it should be possible to overcome the obstacles and thus overcome that small failure rate. The so-called small means about 35%. And Helen asserted that Sue didn't need to be frustrated by this, because the success rate of the blue scorpion transplant was not much higher than that of the transplant operated by her, even if it was Helen's first time performing this kind of surgery.
For this rare opportunity, Su naturally immediately refused.
"Do you know the apostles?" Sue's question made Helen's expression freeze instantly.
She then asked, "Apostle? In many religions in the old times there were so-called apostles, what do you mean? β
Su looked at Helen carefully, but her expression did not change in any way, making Su feel that the momentary freeze on her face just now seemed to be just an illusion. Su quickly replayed the scene in her consciousness, and then saw that Helen did have an unnatural expression for the first time.
She knew the apostles, or at least some about them!
Su instantly crossed the back of her mind. However, Helen was obviously reluctant to talk about it, and even pretended not to know what an apostle was, which made it impossible for Sue to ask any more questions. And as smart as Su, he won't continue to ask.
"How's Leigh?" Sue asked.
"I just had a repair surgery and I'm still in a coma. It is estimated that you can move after 1 day and you can recover initially in 5 days. Congratulations, Lieutenant Su, you have deceived a good servant. I've checked her potential, and in the martial arts realm, she has the potential to develop to a seventh-order ability. If used to its full potential, Lihui will be a qualified Dark Dragoon Officer with a higher rank than you already have. I'm curious, what method did you use to make her a servant, I heard that you only pay her 100 yuan a month? β
Looking at Helen's star-like eyes, Sue could only smile and did not answer the question.
Li's heart for Su can be seen by almost a fool, and if she is as smart as Su, she naturally won't know this. And Su knew in her heart that she had more or less taken advantage of Li's intentions and made her a servant. After becoming a servant, Li did receive a certain amount of protection, but she was also bound by a strict subordination agreement from then on. Eli's potential in ability, military talent, and outstanding appearance will make him a very popular candidate for the dragoons. So in this sense, Rei didn't get a favor from Sue. Only in the future to find a way to make up for it as much as possible, this is Sue's idea. However, with Su's current financial situation, this idea cannot be said to be a blank check, but it is not very far off.
Helen picked up a piece of paper, looked at it, and said, "There is also the one named Rigolei, I also gave him a potential test, anyway, the reagent material is enough for two people." His main ability is the psionic energy domain, and the potential is sixth-order, which is quite reasonable. Of course, as far as Hu is concerned, the sixth order is already too abundant. However, there are some deviations in the development of his abilities in the past, and it can be seen that he has injected a lot of weapon manipulation formula abilities, which is a complete waste. What is really rare is the ability to control the area, and my advice is that in the future, whenever possible, let him try to improve this ability as much as possible, and keep advancing. This is much more promising than his non-stop practice of playing with guns. β
Sue listened carefully and carefully memorized everything Helen said. However, he still doesn't understand the ability of area control, in his opinion, the weapon control ability is a very popular and very effective ability on the battlefield, and the power is increased with the improvement of the weapon in his hand. Lieutenant Enzo once demonstrated how powerful a "Bronze Dragon" missile can become. After re-equipping the Dark Dragoon's new equipment, Rigore's weapon control ability has been doubled. And now Su can only afford the basic model of firearms, and when he can afford high-end firearms in the future, even customized firearms, and a complete set of accessories, then even if there is no improvement in the ability of Rigaolei, the power on the battlefield will increase several times or even more than ten times.
He didn't ask the question, though. Regional control is a rare ability, and it is not within Su's authority for the time being. But as time passed, Su believed that his rank and authority would rise in tandem, and it wouldn't be long before he knew about this ability. There is no need to ask in detail now, for what is really necessary, or what can be said, Helen will not really hold back. Especially when this blue scorpion army is overwhelmed.
"Thank you." Sue said it seriously.
"If you're sincere, then remember, I need your physiological response." Helen's answer was unceremonious.
Su thought about it seriously, and then said with a wry smile: "It's very difficult, as long as I think of you, it's almost impossible." β
Sue's answer made Helen speechless, and what was even worse was that Sue's attitude was still very serious.
Helen stared at Su expressionlessly for a long time before saying, "What you should consider is how to wipe out the armored team of the Blue Scorpion, so that the headquarters will not send other dragoons over." This is the only way to get all the merit and reward. β
"What should I do?" Su frowned, strategic layout had never been his specialty, and Li hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet.
"Think for yourself!" With a snap, Helen cut off the communication.
